The Joy of Being Stupid – “I am again and again blown away by the people out there who are chock full of pertinent information—many of them seem to know nearly everything there is out there to know about a particular subject.

Just a human being living on this planet in this strange time, trying to make some sense of what you are experiencing. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP – GOOD ONE FROM TODD AS USUAL AND BY NO MEANS IS HE STUPID!!!!

The US/Israeli Coup of America Under President Trump’s Directive – “Inside the 2027 Budget for the Department of War is buried: The US/Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. Integration of both militaries. Integration of AI, weapon production, quantum, DEW’s, cyber, biotech and data fusion. America would effectively become Israel. Anyone Israel deems an antisemite will be shot or imprisoned while subjected to torture. In America.” – Helena Glass

Israel Pressures Trump to Murder Mojtaba Khamenei and Negotiator Ghalibaf – “The murder of Iran’s Supreme Leader represents a new stage in the erosion of the international norm against assassination. The story is unsourced, and yet, considering the past behavior of the Zionist state, it is entirely plausible. The list of people assassinated by Israel is extensive.” – Kurt Nimmo

Taiwan, Nuclear War, and Global Economic Collapse – “A conflict over Taiwan is not just a regional dispute. If deterrence fails, the world faces a $10 trillion economic collapse, the destruction of the global semiconductor supply chain, and the risk of a nuclear exchange. The question most people have is “why does the U.S. care about Taiwan?” For that matter, why does China care? For Xi Jinping, absorbing Taiwan is tied directly to his legacy-defining goal of National Rejuvenation by 2049. Failing to secure the island could destabilize the CCP’s autocratic rule and Xi’s political survival. Geostrategically, Taiwan is the lynchpin of the First Island Chain, a network of archipelagos the U.S. uses to contain the Chinese navy. If Taiwan falls, Chinese nuclear-powered submarines gain unimpeded access to the deep Pacific, threatening Guam, Japan, and the Philippines, and effectively shattering American hegemony in the region.” – Sarah Connor

America the Dictatorship – “Trump Rules War. When it comes to war (and more war), the USA is a dictatorship.

Is JD Vance the 2028 Front Runner? Trump Has Questions. – “President Trump appears to see the matter of his heir as unsettled, adding a layer of tension to his relationship with Vice President JD Vance. “Vice President Vance has done a remarkable job of helping implement the president’s America First agenda,” Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, said in a statement. “There has been no vice president in history who has been more empowered, and that is a reflection of the strong trust and relationship between the two. Any false media narratives from unknown and unnamed sources fabricating stories clearly do not have any knowledge of the truth.”” – Katie Rogers and Tyler Pager

Maryland’s Glock Ban Aims at the Gun, Not the Criminal – “Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed SB 334 into law Tuesday, putting the state on a collision course with gun owners, firearm dealers, and 2nd Amendment groups. The law targets “machine gun convertible pistols,” mainly Glock-style semiauto handguns that use a cruciform trigger bar. Maryland lawmakers argue criminals can convert those firearms into fully auto with illegal devices called Glock switches. The question remains: Why is Maryland banning future sales of common handguns because criminals already break the law with illegal conversion devices?”” – David Manney

Russia Blamed Again as Drone Hits NATO-Member Romania – “Another manufactured crisis has erupted over an alleged Russian drone that hit a building in Galati, Romania.

We know that Ukraine is the only country which has previously attacked NATO territories with its drones and missiles, particularly having killed two civilian farmers in Poland,” – Simplicius

Inflation Is Forcing Americans Into Defensive Mode – “The reality is that, for all of us, our purchasing power is being eaten away by inflation, sometimes slowly, sometimes more quickly, but ever more every day.

That’s almost a full percentage point higher than at the start of this year according to the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index put out by the federal government. Let me remind you, that is not just a statistic – it is the difference between keeping room in the monthly budget and cutting back again.” – Peter Reagan

Trump’s New E15 Fuel Rule Could Quietly Wreck Your Homestead Equipment – “the generator sputters like it swallowed mud. The chainsaw suddenly runs rough and stalls halfway through a cut, while the tiller won’t idle and the mower surges like it’s fighting itself. At first, you blame bad gas. But then you start hearing the same story from neighbors, repair shops, and small-engine mechanics all over rural America. And suddenly a lot of homesteaders are asking the same question: “What changed?” Quite a bit, actually. Back in March 2026, the EPA issued a “temporary” emergency waiver allowing nationwide summer sales of E15 gasoline — fuel blended with 15 percent ethanol instead of the standard 10 percent blend most Americans are used to. Meanwhile, Big-Ag lobbyists are working on making this temporary waiver… permanent.” – Bill Heid  – HADN’T HEARD ABOUT THIS!!!!
